Zevia Zero Calorie Soda, Cola, 12 Fl Oz Cans (Pack of 24)

Wish it was more widely available

I avoided soda for years after since it seemed that regular and diet soda broke me out. I'm not the healthiest person in the world but I like to know what I'm putting in my body and the crazy amounts of sugar in regular soda (not to mention calories) and the sucralose/aspartame in diet sodas seemed to wreak havoc on my skin. I knew that I tolerated Stevia well after using it to sweeten tea and take the sting out of an apple cider vinegar concoction I drink for my acid reflux so I gave Zevia a try. (I know what you're thinking, ladies: acne-prone AND suffering from reflux? I must be the man of your dreams.)I'm in the minority with my friends and family but I love the stuff. The regular cola Zevia reminds me of the old RC colas I used to buy in the grocery store--not quite Coke but still plenty good. I probably drink about 6-8 a week so this 24 pack on Amazon is perfect for me. The price tends to fluctuate ($23+ a few months back, $18 now) but it's usually cheaper for Amazon to mail me a 21 pound box in two days (Prime) than it is for me to buy it at Whole Foods. Go figure.I signed up for Subscribe and Save about eight months ago so I've gotten a shipment of 24 sodas for as cheap as $15.40. Compare that to Whole Foods which charges $5.99 for a six-pack or $4.99 at Target and that's quite a bargain, ESPECIALLY since it includes shipping. When my Subscribe and Save price jumped from $15.40 to $23 I skipped the shipment and bought a few six-packs at my Target with coupons (sometimes they're 3 for $10 and you can get $1 to $2 coupons online on top of that). Thankfully the price came back down, at least with this flavor.The lemon-lime flavor is my second favorite and some of the other flavors are okay. I found that the grape and ginger ale flavors have more of an artificial aftertaste than the Cola though I like having them as options. Root Beer is also pretty tasty but it gave me a headache (all root beer does, not sure why).Is Zevia health food? Not at all. It's a nice treat in the middle of the day if you're dieting but it's still soda and it's still a diuretic. Many of the reviews complain that Stevia is only the fifth ingredient and that the sugar alcohol Erythritol makes up most of the recipe. This is a legitimate complaint though I haven't had any adverse reactions to it.With my luck scientists will discover that Zevia/stevia/Erythritol causes face cancer or IBS or Tourette's Syndrome a few years down the road. But I'll enjoy my daily treat for now.Buy a six-pack first and see how you like it. Some people have a mild allergic reaction to stevia which can cause headaches.

This is the fourth Zevia flavor I've tried. Orange was first, which I didn't like much. Black cherry was next which wasn't bad but wasn't great either. Next was root beer which I really enjoyed. Finally, cola which I think is the best of the bunch. I had tried to order the cola flavor earlier FedEx sent it back to Amazon after getting to the truck hub that services my house. I don't know why it was sent back and my inquiries to Amazon were unanswered. A lady on Amazon's 800 number wanted to reorder it for me but I had to explain that she couldn't due to stock and high shipping prices of third party sellers (more on that later). But I finally got a case of it on my second try. I love it and so does my wife. The only problem with it is that it is the only Zevia soda that contains caffeine. On the list of ingredients it says "caffeine 45mg from coffee". That amount of caffeine is comparable to the amount you'd find in a Coke or Pepsi product. That's not a deal breaker for me though. I try to avoid caffeine as does my wife, but for a lot of people that would be a deal breaker. I will continue to drink the caffeine free root beer flavor most often while treating myself to the cola flavor on occasion. Out of the four flavors of Zevia I've had, cola is far and away better than orange and black cherry, while root beer is close behind in second.There are two major problems with ordering Zevia products. First, they're expensive. At just over a dollar a can they are pricey, no other way to describe it. The second, is availability. Amazon is really having some issues with keeping Zevia flavors in stock with Prime shipping. The third party sellers all have exuberant shipping prices bringing your case of soda to over fifty dollars. I've emailed Zevia about this and did get a response from them. I hope Amazon can keep it stocked and Zevia can keep them supplied. It's a good product but it's been frustrating trying to order due to Amazon's stock. Due to the high price tag I put it on a monthly schedule to save 15%. It helps but I wonder if Amazon will have it ready to go each month.The Zevia Cola is an great tasting soda. I will be purchasing it again but not as often as I'd like due to the caffeine content.

Most sugar substitutes are harsh chemicals that cause damage to the pancreas by over working it. Sweet taste tell the brain to send out insulin to the blood. Stevia, as natural sweetener, does not trigger this response like the manmade sugar substitutes, according to my relatives in the medical fields.The flavor is milder than most colas as most of that flavor is from 45-58+ grams of sugar or high fruictos corn syrup. It seems less carbonated to me, too. This is good if you have heart disease, or want to avoid heart damage from carbonation in your blood.A health refreshing drink.

人工甘味料未使用ということで　糖質ゼロでも甘さが足りず　不味いです糖質制限をなさっている方には良いでしょうキンキンに冷やすと飲みやすいです

米国で愛飲していたこの商品が日本でも手に入りとても嬉しい限り。同じ糖質ゼロでも大手メーカーのものは化学甘味料を使用しているが、ゼビアは天然甘味料のみなので安心。ステビアは米国では血圧を下げるサプリメントの主原料にもなっている。エリスリトールも使用されているが、これはステビア同様血糖を上げない甘味料といわれている。これを飲んで症状が改善するとは思わないが、血糖値や血圧を上げたくない方にオススメしたい。肝心な味のほうも文句無しである。
